Using Grad-CAM, we show that gaze modulated dropout enables the network to concentrate on task-relevant areas of the image.This brief investigates the master-slave synchronization problem of delayed neural networks with general time-varying control. Assuming a linear feedback controller with time-varying control gain, the synchronization problem is recast into the stability problem of a delayed system with a time-varying coefficient. The main theorem is established in terms of the time average of the control gain by using the Lyapunov-Razumikhin theorem. Moreover, the proposed framework encompasses some general intermittent control schemes, such as the switched control gain with external disturbance and intermittent control with pulse-modulated gain function, while some useful corollaries are consequently deduced. Interestingly, our theorem also provides a solution for regaining stability under control failure. The validity of the theorem and corollaries is further demonstrated with numerical examples.Knowledge-transfer (KT) methods allow for transferring the knowledge contained in a large deep learning model into a more lightweight and faster model. However, the vast majority of existing KT approaches are designed to handle mainly classification and detection tasks. This limits their performance on other tasks, such as representation/metric learning. To overcome this limitation, a novel probabilistic KT (PKT) method is proposed in this article. PKT is capable of transferring the knowledge into a smaller student model by keeping as much information as possible, as expressed through the teacher model. The ability of the proposed method to use different kernels for estimating the probability distribution of the teacher and student models, along with the different divergence metrics that can be used for transferring the knowledge, allows for easily adapting the proposed method to different applications. PKT outperforms several existing state-of-the-art KT techniques, while it is capable of providing new insights into KT by enabling several novel applications, as it is demonstrated through extensive experiments on several challenging data sets.This brief is devoted to exploring the global Mittag-Leffler (ML) synchronization problem of fractional-order memristor neural networks (FOMNNs) with leakage delay via a hybrid adaptive controller. By applying Fillipov's theory and the Lyapunov functional method, the novel algebraic sufficient condition for the global ML synchronization of FOMNNs is derived. Finally, a simulation example is presented to show the practicability of our findings.In multistate neural associative memories, some neurons have small noise and the others have large noise. If we know which neurons have small noise, the noise tolerance could be improved. In this brief, we provide a novel method to reinforce neurons with small noise and apply our new method to images with the Gaussian noise. A complex-valued multistate neuron is decomposed to two neurons, referred to as high and low neurons. For the Gaussian noise, the high neurons are expected to have small noise. The noise tolerance is improved by reinforcement of high neurons. The computer simulations support the efficiency of reinforced neurons.The aim of the study was to evaluate haematological responses in Red Sokoto goats (RSGs) administered with L-glutamine during the hot-dry season. Experimental animals included 28 clinically healthy RSGs divided into treated group (n = 14); each administered L-glutamine at 0.2 g/kg body weight, dissolved in 10 mL distilled water, and control group (n = 14); each administered 10 mL distilled water, per os once daily for 21 days. The ambient temperature and relative humidity recorded daily for 4 weeks were used to calculate the temperature-humidity index. Three millilitres of blood sample was collected from each goat by jugular venipuncture for haematology, while rectal temperature (RT), heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) were also measured once weekly at weeks 0 (before), 1, 2, 3 (during) and 4 (after L-glutamine administration). The haematological, RT, HR and RR data obtained weekly were analysed using repeated-measures one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey's post-hoc test to evaluate differences between periods, and between treated and control groups. The PCV, haemoglobin concentration and RBC count were higher (P less then 0.05) in the treated group compared to the control group during the period of L-glutamine administration. These differences were sustained till week 4. Beginning from week 1 of the study, the total leucocyte count in treated group (10.10 ± 0.25 × 103/μL) was higher (P less then 0.05) than the count in control group (7.23 ± 0.41 × 103/μL), this trend was also maintained throughout the study. The neutrophillymphocyte ratio during weeks 3 and 4 of the experiment was lower (P less then 0.05) in the treated compared to the control group. RT was lower (P less then 0.05) in treated group than the control group. In conclusion, L-glutamine administration ameliorated the adverse effects of heat stress on the haematological parameters in RSGs during the hot-dry season.Understanding circadian rhythms of body temperature is important for the interpretation of single body temperature measurements and the assessment of the physiological state of an animal. The ability to measure body temperature at peripheral locations may also be important in the development of minimally invasive tools for remote temperature measurement in livestock. This study aimed to investigate how well body temperature measured at peripheral sites reflected a commonly used core measurement (vaginal temperature) and the circadian rhythmicity of the body temperature of sheep with a view to practical application in extensive sheep production systems. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/jw74.html Eleven crossbred ewes were implanted with peripheral temperature sensing microchips (LifeChip®) which were positioned transversely in the sternocleidomastoid (neck) muscle and subcutaneously under the tail. iButton® temperature loggers were placed intravaginally to record core body temperature measurements (Tv). The body temperature measurements observed at the peripheral sites in the neck (Tn) and tail (Tt) differed significantly to those measured at the core site, Tv (P less then 0.
